Dear Colleagues:
It is our great pleasure to invite you to participate in the
3rd U.S.-JAPAN WORKSHOP ON ADVANCED RESEARCH ON EARTHQUAKE
ENGINEERING FOR DAMS, to be held in San Diego, California,
on June 22-23, 2002. This workshop is co-sponsored by the
U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center
(ERDC) and the U.S. Society on Dams (USSD), and it will part o
f the pre-conference activities of the 22nd
USSD Annual Meeting and Conference (to be held at the same
location on June 24-28, 2002).
The objectives of this workshop are to provide a forum to discuss
the current status of research and development
in seismic design and evaluation of dams and appurtenant structures,
to identify critical research needs that can
receive substantial benefit from joint investigation, and to
promote cooperative research initiatives to develop
economical protective countermeasures against seismic effects.
Please mark your calendars. Enclosed please find the attached
Call for Papers, in case you are interested in
proposing a formal presentation of your technical work.
We hope that you will be able to participate in this
meeting by presenting your work or as an active member of the
audience. If you wish to attend, please let us
know by replying to the following address:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
before December 21, 2001.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,

CALL FOR PAPERS
3rd U.S.-JAPAN WORKSHOP ON ADVANCED RESEARCH
ON EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING FOR DAMS
"Future Directions in Seismic Design and Evaluation of Dams"
The 3rd U.S.-Japan Workshop on Advanced Research on Earthquake
Engineering for Dams will be held in San Diego, California, on
June 22-23, 2002. This workshop is organized by the Task Committee
on Dams of the Panel on Wind and Seismic Effects, which is part of
the activities of the U.S.-Japan Cooperative Program in Natural
Resources (UJNR).
This workshop is co-sponsored by the U.S. Army Engineer Research
and Development Center (ERDC) and the U.S. Society on Dams (USSD),
and it will part of the pre-conference activities of the 22nd USSD
Annual Meeting and Conference (to be held at the same location on
June 24-28, 2002).
Since its establishment in 1964, the UJNR Program has been a
significant link channeling international technological cooperation
and advancing the communication and exchange of ideas and information.
By addressing critical issues related to conservation and management
of natural resources, the UJNR Program has demonstrated a powerful
role in applied science development. This role has transcended the
frontiers of the two participating countries, with worldwide influence
in the advancement of science and technology.
The workshop will focus on a variety of technical aspects covering
concrete and embankment dams, and their appurtenant structures. The
technical sessions will address the following main themes:
7 Seismic Evaluation - Standards, Requirements, and Criteria
7 Numerical Techniques for Seismic Analysis
7 Seismic Design and Evaluation of Appurtenant Structures
7 Instrumentation, Monitoring, and Condition Assessment
7 Seismic Upgrade and Rehabilitation
7 Foundation Problems
7 Maintenance Issues
7 Other General Topics and Case Studies
Prospective authors are invited to submit a 200 to 400-word abstract
for a 20-minute presentation no later than December 21, 2001.
Abstracts must be submitted electronically to the email address below.
Authors of accepted abstracts will be expected to submit a manuscript,
no longer than 15 pages including figures, tables, and references,
which will be published in the Workshop Proceedings.
